(a) These securities are held by the AZL BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “VIP Subsidiary”).
(b) All or a portion of these securities are held by the AZL Cayman Global Allocation Fund, Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”).
(c) When a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund as a seller of credit protection will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and take delivery of the reference entity or (ii) pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value. Alternatively, the Fund as a buyer of credit protection will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity and deliver the reference entity to the seller or (ii) receive a net amount of equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value.
(d) Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront or daily payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.
(e) The notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULES OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of 13 separate investment portfolios (individually a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust, as follows:

 

  •   AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund

 

  •   AZL DFA Multi-Strategy Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP DFA Multi-Strategy Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Franklin Templeton Founding Strategy Plus Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Fusion Growth Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Fusion Moderate Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Growth Index Strategy Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP Invesco Equity and Income Fund

 

  •   AZL MVP T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund

The Funds are “fund of funds,” which means that the Funds invest in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stocks, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. The underlying Funds record their investments at fair value. Periodically, the Funds will adjust their asset allocations as they seek to achieve their investment objectives.

The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Funds without par value. Shares of the Funds are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“Schedules”). The policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Schedules requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the Schedules. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded not later than on the business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries

During the period ended September 30, 2015, the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund primarily invested in shares of another mutual fund managed by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), the AZL BlackRock Global Allocation Fund (the “VIP Subsidiary”); a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund.

As of September 30, 2015, the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund’s aggregate investment in the VIP Subsidiary was $761,478,731, representing 94.9% of the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund’s net assets.

The VIP Subsidiary’s primary vehicle for gaining exposure to commodities markets is through investment in the AZL Cayman Global Allocation Fund, Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), a wholly owned and controlled subsidiary of the VIP Subsidiary formed in the Cayman Islands, which invests primarily in commodity-related instruments.

The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund’s investments have been consolidated and include the portfolio holdings of the VIP Subsidiary and the Cayman Subsidiary.


ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULES OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

Real Estate Investment Trusts

The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the period, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the fair value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.

Floating Rate Loans

The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may invest in floating rate loans, which usually take the form of loan participations and assignments. These loans are made by banks and other large financial institutions to various companies and are typically senior in the borrowing companies’ capital structure. Coupon rates are floating, not fixed and are tied to a benchmark lending rate. Loans involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the financial intermediaries who are parties to the transactions. The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, records an investment when the borrower withdraws money and records the interest as earned.

Securities Lending

To generate additional income, the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may lend up to 331/3% of its assets pursuant to agreements requiring that the loan be continuously secured by any combination of cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, equal initially to at least 102% of the fair value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned (105% for foreign securities). The borrower of securities is at all times required to post collateral to the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the fair value of the securities loaned based on the previous day’s fair value of the securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls are adjusted the next business day. The Fund bears all of the gains and losses on such investments. The Fund receives payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment of cash collateral received. In extremely low interest rate environments, the broker rebate fee may exceed the interest earned on the cash collateral which would result in a loss to the Fund. The investment of cash collateral deposited by the borrower is subject to inherent market risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks that are present in the market and, as such, the value of these investments may not be sufficient, when liquidated, to repay the borrower when the loaned security is returned. There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers, such as broker-dealers, banks or institutional borrowers of securities, deemed by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”) to be of good standing and credit worthy and when in its judgment, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Trust or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments. Securities on loan at September 30, 2015 are presented on the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Securities Lending Collateral Trust (the “Securities Lending Collateral Trust”) managed by The Dreyfus Corporation, an affiliate of the Custodian and Securities Lending Agent. The Securities Lending Collateral Trust invests in short-term investments that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Fund pays the Securities Lending Agent 9% of the gross revenues received from securities lending activities and retains 91%.

Derivative Instruments

All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on the Funds’ Schedules, as applicable. The following is a description of the derivative instruments that the Funds may utilize, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. Each Fund’s allocation to the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Funds’ derivative positions could exceed 20% of each Fund’s value. Each Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.

Forward Currency Contracts

During the period ended September 30, 2015, the AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, entered into forward currency contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies. In addition to the foreign currency risk related to the use of these contracts, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. In the event of default by the counterparty to the transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss, as either the buyer or the seller, is the unrealized appreciation of the contract. The forward currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULES OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Futures Contracts

As of September 30, 2015, the Funds may invest in futures contracts to reduce volatility and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to, or economically hedge against changes in the value of equity securities. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to segregate liquid assets in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and a payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Funds. Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to stock futures, interest rate risk related to bond futures, and foreign currency risk related to currency futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the variation margin. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the underlying securities and the prices of futures contracts, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

Options Contracts

The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may purchase or write put and call options on a security or an index of securities. During the period ended September 30, 2015, the Fund purchased and wrote call and put options to increase or decrease its exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk, interest rate risk and/or foreign currency exchange rate risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums.

Purchased Options Contracts—The Fund pays a premium which is marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing put options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing put options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.

Written Options Contracts—The Fund receives a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and is required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value.

Swap Agreements

The AZL MVP BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Fund may enter into swap agreements to manage its exposure to market, interest rate and credit risk. The value of swap agreements is equal to the Fund’s obligations (or rights) under swap agreements, which will generally be equal to the net amounts to be paid or received under the agreements based upon the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreements. In connection with these arrangements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty.

Swaps are marked to market daily using pricing sources approved by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. For OTC swaps, payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recorded as realized gain or loss upon termination or maturity of the OTC swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the OTC swap is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are included as part of realized gains (and losses). Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or assets determined to be liquid (the amount is subject to the clearing organization that clears the trade). Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable, as applicable, for variation margin on centrally cleared swaps.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and exposure to loss. The primary risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlation between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying instruments and the inability of counterparties or clearing house to perform. The counterparty risk for centrally cleared swap agreements is generally lower than for OTC swap agreements because generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to a clearing house for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that the clearing house or its members will satisfy their obligations to the Fund.

The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement (i.e., any unrealized appreciation) in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the swap agreement counterparty. The notional amount and related unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each swap agreement at period end is disclosed in the swap tables in the Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Fund is party to International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with select counterparties that govern transactions, such as OTC swap contracts, entered into by the Fund, through the Subsidiary, and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding OTC swap transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.

Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional amount and are subject to interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities, other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that a Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an interest rate swap defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. As of September 30, 2015, the Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, entered into OTC and centrally cleared interest rate swap agreements to gain or reduce exposure to interest rates or to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate risk).

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Credit default swap agreements may have as reference obligations one or more securities that are not currently held by the Fund. The protection “buyer” in a credit default contract is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront, periodic, or daily stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller generally must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity described in the swap, or the seller may be required to deliver the related net cash amount, if the swap is cash settled. A Fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. If the Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may recover nothing if the swap is held through its termination date. However, if a credit event occurs, the buyer generally may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity whose value may have significantly decreased. As a seller, a Fund generally receives an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

Credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. A Fund will enter into credit default swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. A buyer generally also will lose its investment and recover nothing should no credit event occur and the swap is held to its termination date. If a credit event were to occur, the value of any deliverable obligation received by the seller, coupled with the upfront, periodic, or daily payments previously received, may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the seller. The Fund’s obligations under a credit default swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the Fund). In connection with credit default swaps in which a Fund is the buyer,

NOTES TO THE SCHEDULES OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

the Fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or assets determined to be liquid, or enter into certain offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the Fund’s exposure (any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed by the Fund to any counterparty), on a marked-to-market basis. In connection with credit default swaps of which a Fund is the seller, the Fund will segregate or “earmark” cash or assets determined to be liquid, or enter into offsetting positions, with a value at least equal to the full notional amount of the swap (minus any amounts owed to the Fund). Such segregation or “earmarking” will ensure that the Fund has assets available to satisfy its obligations with respect to the transaction and will limit any potential leveraging of the Fund’s portfolio. Such segregation or “earmarking” will not limit the Fund’s exposure to loss. As of September 30, 2015, the Fund, through the VIP Subsidiary, entered into OTC and centrally cleared credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk).

4. Investment Valuation Summary

The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

  •   Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

 

  •   Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds,

                credit risk, etc.)

 

  •   Level 3— significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Trust determines transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Trustees as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt and other fixed income securities are generally valued at an evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short term securities of sufficient credit quality with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Futures contracts are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the primary exchange and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Options contracts are generally valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the principal exchange on which the option is traded, which are then typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Forward currency contracts are generally valued at the foreign currency exchange rate as of the close of the NYSE and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Non exchange-traded derivatives, such as swaps and certain options, are generally valued by approved independent pricing services utilizing techniques which take into account factors such as yields, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Other assets and securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the NYSE. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Trust utilizes a pricing service to assist in determining the fair value of securities when certain significant events occur that may affect the value of foreign securities.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when a Fund’s net asset value is calculated. Management identifies possible fluctuation in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Funds may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities which are then typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2015 in valuing the Funds’ investments based upon three levels defined above:

There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 as of September 30, 2015.

6. Investment Risks

Commodities-Related Investment Risk: Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or events affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission has proposed changes to certain of its rules governing investment in commodities by mutual funds, such as the Fund. In the event these changes are adopted, or if there are changes in the tax treatment of the Fund’s direct and indirect investments in commodities, the Fund may be unable to obtain exposure to commodity markets, or may be limited in the extent to which or manner in which it can obtain such exposure.

Derivatives Risk: The Fund may invest in derivatives as a principal strategy. A derivative is a financial contract whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or risk. Use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances. The counterparty to a derivatives contract could default. As required by applicable law, a Fund that invests in derivatives segregates cash or liquid securities, or both, to the extent that its obligations under the contract are not covered through ownership of the underlying security, financial instrument, or currency.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets may have less developed trading markets and exchanges which may make it more difficult to sell securities at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in more developed markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of a security on a timely basis. Emerging countries may also have less developed legal and accounting systems and investments may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, nationalization, or confiscation.

Foreign Securities and Currencies Risk: Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those securities.

Security Quality Risk (also known as “High Yield Risk”): The Fund may invest in high yield, high risk debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in such securities. These securities are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities (liquidity risk). If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the Fund may lose the value of its entire investment.
